'iThem were great days. Cow- punching aint what it used to be? he continued, completely forgetting his original subject. I had bought the office put on the market by the widow of the late Dr. Moore, and, feeling a natural desire to hear the history of my predecessor in this comfortable, thriving town of Cherryport, Oklahoma, I induced Bill to proceed. tiDoc. Moore war a tenderfoot proper ez fur ez cattle and broncos wuz concerned, but, say, when it come to 12157 soiif a achin' jaw tooth out o! yer head, this man Moore war the real peppermint candy with the red stripes wrapped Close around. You look husky, but Moore war a heap smaller, and more sun-dried, and he could sure romp home with the goods when it came to getting a achin, jaw tooth, Yes? I interposed, HI heard you the first time, Bill; go on with the storyf' Bill did not deign to notice the insinuation other than to give me a sad, farwaway and condescending look, which implied, far better than words could have told, that in those days tenderfeet were not wont to be impertinent. ttWali, drawled Bill, ttthis same Doe Moore come rolhni about Doc. 0 l i i 84 Inm-R-m-R A R R le-R-m-m-R-R K a K a 12-55;?

Doc. remmistrated quiet-like and gets a laugh from the crowd assembled for his pains. Missouriethatis the driverilaughs so loud and hard thet the tears runs down his cheeks and dont even show no resentment at this darc-devii spirit exhibited by DOC. Moore. Doc. wuz escorted over to Ned Gwynne's this saloon and boarding emporium stood just where this hotel now sitsJ by the bunch, and 02 he wuz the First new man in town fur several months, of course, it wuz hinted very lamb-like that he buy fur the crowd and he buys, unprotestin'. Then after seeiny to his luggage and gettin: a bite to eat, he goes OE to bed, leavini us all in doubt ax to what his business wuz like. Next mornini he wuz up bright and early and inquired from me if I knew of any vacant rooms in town. I wuz keepini bar for Ned them days, and told him I anticipated the room he had tilled that night wuz good enough for a tenderfoot. He didnit show no keen animosity at them cuttin' words, but explained that he wanted an office. So I put him next to one across the street, and by noon he had his outfit thar, and a big sign, IDr. Moore, Dentist; Teeth Extracted Painlesslyf wuz flaunted to the desert zephyrs.

uI anticipated no harm hit him, fur he war 50 meek- like, but I knowed what was sure comin' to that sign and my prognostieatin' come true. Long about but OICIOCk here comes the hull darned outfit from Cirelet e etix, Titlil'ti like hel fur something to quench that awful thirst be gotten by the alkali dust. Coyote Kelly wuz leadint the bunch ez usual, and when he saw that sign starin, at him .50 hamboyant-like, he darned near fell off his pony.

HNow, he had more sense than to look out that window. He never made no objection: he was waitin' his turn and it wuz d e d quick cominI too. We had some army hard- tack for these infants to bite on and naturally 'lowed theyld This series went on to way late; ez usual. but hereis where Doc. hgurest ot' hartietRCk Coyote Kelly sets hiS molars toy gives rise to violent and unexpected bar, and when the sulphur- were awoke to the fact that The language he usetl in drink, eat hardetaek. get thirsty and drink again.

Then all to onet, like a tornado tearinl up sage-brush, he throws off the gag and picks up a pair of glitterin' pinchers and gets that tooth. Coyote's never made a rustle. then we see that hes asleep and beginnin! to wake up. Doc never hesitates. He. gets Coyotelb gun and covers him, seem which, Coyote. when hels got sense enough. throws his hands up regulation. We think his end hez come, and in a second DOC. wuz covered by twelve ez lusty pairs of Colts ez ever wuz Hashed in these parts.

Then he walks over and puts his fingers in Coyote's mouth and when he pulls Jem mit again hes got that tooth in plain sight. mPretty fair shootinl fur a tenderfoot. aint it? Elwkx Doe. showinl him the tooth, but poor old Coyote wuz too scared to move not answer. I can say positive that Coy ote had figured in six different gun tights. and his gun had Fix notches scratched 0n the barrel, but the idea of a tenclei'toot aimin, pointeblank at his jaw and lettini go wuz SO we car- ried him over to the hat and revived him with spirits, and too much, and he fainted dead away again. when he wuz told the joke, he wuz in fur addiny another notch to his gun, but we made him see that the drinks wuz on him. and he wouldnt buy 'em till Doe. was lined up 'longside, and thatls how Doc.
